Joshua Tree National Park Map

Both Tom Harrison and NatGeo make awesome recreation maps of this popular SoCal desert. Numerous campgrounds, hiking trails, dirt roads, historic mines, and plenty rock climbing spots. In 1934, Joshua Tree was designated as a National Monument and then later became a National Park in 1994. The local Palm Springs Desert BLM office has paper maps that cover the desert canyon areas near Interstate 10.

Kings Cyn Map

One of the most visited areas of the Sierra Nevada Mountains – Kings Canyon & Sequoia NP sit next door to each other, just south of Yosemite National Park.

Kings Canyon National Park has a deep granite gorge with lower elevations, along the Kings River (the longest river in the Sierra). Plus Kings also has an expansive back-country – accessible only by foot, to High Sierra peaks and many alpine lakes.

On the south side, Sequoia National Park has a higher terrain with a highway skirting the ancient groves, on the west side of the Sierra range.
